Lindsay Kate Skinner
Licensed Professional Counselor
My name is Lindsay Kate Skinner, and Alabama has always been home. When I look back, becoming a counselor feels less like a career choice and more like a steady unfolding of who I’ve always been. My journey began in high school as a peer helper, where I was trained to mediate conflict, recognize signs of depression, support classmates through loss, and practice empathy. Those early experiences shaped how I sit with clients today.
I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Montevallo and my master’s degree in counseling from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I was drawn early to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy, and both continue to guide my work. My approach is research-based, practical, and relational… therapy should feel both safe and purposeful. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, grief, postpartum care, perinatal care, and life transitions. As a wife and mother, I understand how easy it is to carry a heavy emotional load while trying to hold everything together. My goal is not just symptom relief, but helping clients understand their patterns, build healthy coping skills, and create sustainable rhythms for everyday life.
I deeply value the therapy room. There is something powerful about being trusted with someone’s story and walking with them toward clarity and growth. My husband and I also run a photography business together. Whether behind the therapist chair or behind the camera, I am drawn to stories. Both roles allow me to witness meaningful moments with care and intention.
If you are carrying feelings of overwhelm, anxious thoughts, grief, or patterns that no longer serve you, you do not have to navigate that alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you in your story.
